When I added new data in FS with AQ, a small block appears after the entry. It says to add the reason why, etc this data was used.

Does this mean a Source reference, (birth certificate, etc) such as you would normally put in as a Source, not in a Note when working directly in FS? - OR - is FS going to do away with the long/detailed Source format? (I would love it if did!!)

Cleadie,

You should start using Family Search Family Tree . . . the successor to nFS
. . . due for release this month/year.

Family Tree has a significantly different approach to sources than nFS . .
. check out all the Family Tree links in the "Help" feature of nFS or
familysearch.org.

I expect our friends at AQ are working hard to get the interface and
synchronisation working with Family Tree . . . which should include
sourcing - the "why/reason" question you mentioned is one of the new
features in Family Tree..

Thanks for the reply. I took the time to check things out before replying. It has been a long time since I last checked on Family Tree. A lot has been added

Thanks for the reply.

I took the time to check things out before replying. It has been a long time since I last checked on Family Tree. A lot has been added since then. Once I get use to it I probably will like it better than nFS, but right now I am finding the font hard to use. On my computer the font is very large and fine. I'll have to see if I can shrink and make it darker. All my other programs have the fonts the other way around - tiny and heavy, so I have to enlarge them.

I have a roller mouse, and that did the trick. It seems to have stuck when I opened it again this afternoon. It is now much better to read and navigate through many levels. Still a bit faint. I miss the old computers that had the little wheels to darken or lighten the screen when needed.

There are a lot of things I dislike about this Sony laptop with Windows 7. Not sure which is too blame for the quirks, but I will have to live with it until it quits. By then I hope something new will come along that works right.
